Associations - Defining Categories and Elements

Raritan devices and nodes are organized by categories and elements. Each category/element pair is assigned to a device, a node, or both.

A category is a group of similar elements.

Category

Elements

OS Type

Unix, Windows, Linux

Department

Sales, IT, Engineering

Policies also use categories and elements to control user access to servers. For example, the category/element pair Location/America can be used to create a Policy to control user access to servers in America. See Policies for Access Control.

You can assign more than one element of a category to a node or device via CSV file import.

As you add devices and nodes to CC-SG, you will link them to your predefined categories and elements. When you create node and device groups and assign policies to them, you will use your categories and elements to define which nodes and devices belong in each group.
